(Big shout out to musashi3000gt for letting me in on the key ingredient in HIS recipe, Billy's head and eye patch)...

-I used the HOH SS body, minus the head.
-I used goo gone to remove the Cobra symbol on the chest. This worked for the most part--a bit tedious--but it would not remove the symbol that was stamped in the folds of the chest/shirt. So, I used a green brillo-like kitchen scrubby and carefully worked the rest off.
-I cut the backpack/arrows off the belt harness; this caused a gap, but I was able to bridge that gap using the sword sheath from Ultimate SE v54 poc (I superglued the two after cutting off the peg).
-I cut the stars off the belt and I also painted the clasp silver.
-I used one of the Anakin Skywalker Clone Wars heads (the less angry looking version).
-I used the jacket on the A.S. figure to cut out an eye patch. I had to be patient with this, as it became too small for me to hold on to while cutting it down.
-I superglued the eye patch to Billy's right eye.
-I then used a very fine permanent marker to draw the strings attaching the eye patch.
-I armed him with two of the HOH Arashikage swords, as well as a new throwing star from Marauder Gun Runners--it actually fits in the HOH left hand!
-I considered matching the skin tone better, between his face and his arms/hands, but it's close enough that it's not bothering me. I may go back and do it later. Obviously this renders my custom more of a kitbash than anything too original, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY like how Billy turned out!

In the next month, my son and I hope to complete our ARAH custom of the Soft Master (using a dremeled Road Pig head, '88 SS body, and Resolute vest).

Actually, this one is my work. He and I will be making our own Soft Masters (but working together). If you want to see HIS handiwork, check out his dead Fred VII that I didn't think he could do. He showed me...
